Programming / OpenDOC - Source Code
« Last post by Martin Iturbide on Today at 06:36:44 pm »Hello.
There source code of OpenDOC released to the public with the intentions to be preserved.
- https://github.com/atcurtis/OpenDoc
I have zero experience with OpenDOC, as far as I know it was a framework created by Apple and with IBM and Microsoft they tried to turn it into a standard. I think it was close source and was discontinued on 1997.
I can not even list (or remember) one software that was created with OpenDOC on any of the platforms (OS/2, MacOS 7, Windows, or AIX). I guess all software created with OpenDOC was close source, so we can not even think on bringing some of that old software and port it to OS/2 today.
But on the bright side, I think it is interesting to keep releasing the source code of old software to the public for learning purposes or even some inspiration for something new.
If someone wants to chitchat and give some some insights, personal comments, opinions, it appreciated.
Regards
